Abadía

Toledo


In a former 16th-century palace, this atmospheric bar and restaurant has historical artefacts on display in the glassed niches of the brick-and-stone-clad rooms. The menu includes lightweight dishes and tapas, which pair nicely with the bar's own craft beers. For something heartier, opt for the three-course 'Montes de Toledo' menu (€22), showcasing regional delicacies like paté, pheasant and Manchego cheese.
